So i would like to talk about somethings I've been trying to come to a conclusion on. And i implore everyone's opinion or view on the things I'm about to discuss. Let's be realistic about some things. I really want to know how you handle situations like the one's am about to mention. I've talked about part of it in the previous EP site but i would please like to know realistically, what you really do. I haven't been in a relationship, and i somehow think it's difficult to even maintain friendship with a girl. My reason is, i think it's only possible that friendship between a girl and a guy can exist genuinely if, both the girl and guy are already in a relationship with their own boyfriend and girlfriend, and they have admitted to each other that they are each in a relationship already. 2. If, one of them is in a relationship and the other is not ready to be in a relationship and has something he or she is strongly focused on,or has something that can easily remove the idea of a relationship at any point in time. Those are two reasons i think can support a genuine friendship between a guy and a girl, for now. To be honest, it kinda bugged me when i thought about the idea of been friends with a girl and living as normal as the friendship requires, based on the true possibility of staying true to it's characteristics. Not that it's not possible, but without some of these reasons(like the one's i mentioned above), i really don't know how it would work. I watched a movie called 'Love, Rosie'. I don't know if any of you have watched it, but i learnt something from that film or rather i observed things i had to think about. I'll Just give a short summary of the film. A Guy and girl have been best friends from childhood. On a particular day which involved their high school party or something(Can't really remember)they were dancing and seems like the girl was drunk, within the moment of dancing they both kiss, even though the camera doesn't immediately show it. The scene that's shown is her falling on the ground as a result of been drunk Now,the next morning she wakes up not really remembering anything, of which the boy does remember but doesn't tell her(He came to her house the next morning, and was with her before she woke up). Now, a day comes when he tells her about going out with another girl and and it that moment, you would just know that she wasn't really able to respond (in a happy mood) to him going out with the girl. She kind of hesitates based on my observation, and tells him he can. And after a while he asks the girl. She too finds a date. Later, in class, the guy texts her and says he has lost his virginity. Next, she feels down immediately and asks who the unlucky girl(based on her words) was, hoping that it's not the girl who went out with him, and then he reply's with the name of the girl, who happens to be the girl he went out with. And her reaction was not really a happy one. So she actually developed string feelings for him, but he pushed it away, not literally, but in a way that the friendship was what they had and shouldn't be crossed kinda way. There was a time he wanted to leave the city and she went with him to the airport. They hugged each other and as she was about to remove her hands from his neck area, i think she made an effort to try and kiss him. He also kind of felt it(maybe), but resisted it, by just making sure his head and was leaning on her head at a certain level, enough to just suck up the feeling as much as he could with is own technique of resisting the feeling, but not forcefully resisting her in that moment. The rest of the story is for you to watch :) Lol. This was more than the summary i thought i'd give. Hope it wasn't super long. (You can punch me later on my face)Lol. So i'd ask again, realistically, Guys and girls, are you able to be friends with a girl or guy, when your not in a relationship yourself and you don't have something that keeps you busy enough to not develop feelings for your friend, a girl(for the guys) or for your friend a guy(for the girls),is it possible? I'd like to here all your views or opinions! :)

For me, I've always had male friends growing up. More often than not though they would develop feelings for me, and while I knew, I made it clear that I didn't want to date them or that I was in a relationship and couldn't reciprocate. I always held onto my friendship though, and after the initial awkwardness we've always come out okay.

I mean honestly, it's nobodies fault when you like someone. It's just what happens. I'm not going to stop talking to someone because of it. As long as they keep up the boundaries set, everyone's good.

@MrW88 I think there are two things. Either your friends with someone or your in a relationship with the person. I'm saying this because, friendship does not require anything sexual. It's based on shared interests or common likes between people, including opposite genders been involved. So there is a line that cannot be crossed between friends, of which involves not letting emotional feelings between friends replace the friendship itself.

@Ginkofishin Thank you :) That's really good :) I'm glad it turns out ok. I like the fact that you make it clear that your not interested in dating in such a situation involving your friend, and keep the friendship true as long as the characteristics of been friends(to my own understanding) is kept. Thanks :) That's Cool :)

it's a complicated issue because even if you don't see a friend of the opposite sex as a potential partner other people will and then if they hook up with somebody they tend to spend all their time together.

A lot depends on what the friendship you are looking for consists of.

@MrW88 Yeah. It's complicated sometimes.
